Or have you made one or figured out what to do with that space? I have a wall in my basement with bookshelves. I'd like to add one perpendicular to that set against the back wall, but that takes out 1/2 of one of the bookshelves because it doesn't line up.
I guess what I am looking for is a buffer and a way to turn the corner and continue the bookcases.

Sorry, I'm not much help-I have a corner bookcase but purchased it off craigslist. Have you looked at wayfair.com or pottery barn?

I've been looking for a nice corner cabinet for a while, but nothing is just right. I'm going to have to get something custom made. There are also woodwork shops that have a catalog where you can pick the style and mix/match, if needed. I've tried looking for that type of catalog online, but can't find one.
I'm not much help. There are cute alternatives on Pinterest.

I guess what I am looking for is a buffer and a way to turn the corner and continue the bookcases. I've been thinking about turning Billy bookcases from IKEA into fake built-ins for my living room. To deal with the corners, IKEA has combinations of Billies set up so that one regular bookcase goes across the corner, set into the corner: like this. There was a built-in bookcase in the corner of my living room when we moved in, so the shelves were all triangular. It was a huge PITB and nearly impossible to use for any real function due to the shape of the corners. Unless you want to fill it with decorative items (which I didn't want to do). |

Yes, I think the above Pea is right. Ikea offers one in their Billy system to fit with the rest of their Billy bookshelves.

OF all the corner units I've seen, I think the Billy from Ikea is the best for functional space. You do lose some space behind the corner unit, but theoretically, you could stash some almost-never-needed items back in there. Gold bars and a hoard of gem stones, say.
